Bailey by Harry Bliss, pages 26-27

From Brian Selznick, the creator of the Caldecott Medal winner Set fifty years apart, two independent stories—Ben’s told in words and Rose’s in pictures—weave back and forth with mesmerizing symmetry. How they unfold and ultimately intertwine will surprise you, challenge you, and leave you breathless with wonder.

September 13, 2011 2

In addition to The Invention of Hugo Cabret, Brian Selznick is the illustrator of the Caldecott Honor winner, The Dinosaurs of Waterhouse Hawkins, and the New York Times Best Illustrated Walt Whitman: Words for America, both by Barbara Kerley, as well as the Sibert Honor Winner When Marian Sang, by Pam Muñoz Ryan, and numerous other celebrated picture books and novels. Brian has also worked as a set designer and a puppeteer. When he isn’t traveling to research and talk about his work all over the world, he lives in San Diego, California, and Brooklyn, New York.

The Invention of Hugo Cabret, comes another breathtaking tour de force. Wonderstruck By Brian Selznick Ever since his mom died, Ben feels lost. At home with her father, Rose feels alone. He is searching for someone, but he is not sure who. She is searching for something, but she is not sure what. When Ben finds a mysterious clue hidden in his mom’s room, When a tempting opportunity presents itself to Rose, Both children risk everything to find what’s missing. With over 460 pages of original drawings and playing with the form he invented in his trailblazing debut novel, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, Brian Selznick once again sails into uncharted territory and takes readers on an awe-inspiring journey. Rich, complex, affecting, and beautiful, Wonderstruck is a stunning achievement from a uniquely gifted artist and visionary.

From Wonderstruck When Ben opened his eyes, he was lying on the floor, staring at the ceiling. Something smelled terrible and burnt. Thankfully the rain had stopped and everything was silent and peaceful. He could go back to his cousins’ house now. He wanted to get up but he felt so tired. The bed, the nightstand and the dresser seemed so far away, as if Ben were looking at them through the wrong end of his telescope. In the distance, he saw the blue telephone. It was off the hook and seemed to be smoldering. Then, through the windows, he saw something that seemed impossible. He saw rain still pouring down from the sky, streaking hard against the glass. He saw lightning flash without thunder.

From The Eleventh Plague Dad turned all around, sheets of water coursing off his head and shoulders. I wanted to scream that it was pointless, that we needed to keep running, but then there was another crack and a flash of lightning, and for a second it seemed like there might be a ridge of some kind out ahead of us. Dad grabbed my elbow and pulled us toward it. “Come on! Maybe there’s shelter!” By then, the ground had turned to a slurry of mud and rocks and wrecked grass. Every few steps my feet would sink deep into it and I’d have to pull myself out one foot at a time, terrified that I’d lose sight of Dad and be lost out in that gray nothing, alone forever. As we ran, the ridge ahead of us became more and more solid, a great looming black wall. I prayed for a cave, but even a good notch in the rock wall would have been enough to get us out of the rain and hide until morning. We were only fifty feet or so from it when Dad came to an abrupt halt. “Why are we stopping?!” Dad didn’t say anything, he simply pointed. Between us and the ridge there was an immense gash in the earth, a gorge some thirty feet across and another thirty deep, with steep, muddy walls on our side and the ridge on the opposite. A boiling mess of muddy water, tree stumps, and trash raged at the bottom. Dad searched left and right for a crossing, but there wasn’t any. His shoulders slumped. Even through the curtain of rain I could see the sunken hollow of his eyes, deep red-lined pits that sat in skin as gray as the air around us. “I’m sorry, Stephen. I swear to God, I’m so sorry.” I reached out for his arm, to tell him it was going to be okay, but before my fingers could even graze his soaked flannel shirt, the ground beneath his feet disappeared. What was solid ground turned to mud in a second and he went flailing, flying backward. He fell, arms pin-wheeling, his mouth open in a shocked O. There was nothing at his back but thirty feet of open air and, beyond that, the bared fangs of a raging river. When the lightning subsided, he was gone.

The Eleventh Plague By Jeff Hirsch In the aftermath of a war, America’s landscape has been ravaged and two-thirds of the population left dead from a vicious strain of influenza. Fifteen-year-old Stephen Quinn and his family were among the few that survived and became salvagers, roaming the country in search of material to trade for food and other items essential for survival. But when Stephen’s grandfather dies and his father falls into a coma after an accident, Stephen finds his way to Settler’s Landing, a community that seems too good to be true, where there are real houses, barbecues, a school, and even baseball games. Then Stephen meets strong, defiant, mischievous Jenny, who refuses to accept things as they are. And when they play a prank on the town bully’s family that goes horribly wrong, chaos erupts, and they find themselves in the midst of a battle that will change Settler’s Landing forever.

Caldecott Medalist Allen Say chronicling his journey From Drawing from Memory On the last door in the building, a name card was pinned below the glass. I read the four characters several times. Noro Shinpei, Noro Shinpei, Noro Shinpei! I tapped on the glass. “Enter!” a man’s voice ordered.

“I am striving to give shape to my dreams— the old business of making myths—the fundamental force of art.” —Allen Say (Caldecott Medal acceptance speech for Grandfather’s Journey)

Allen Say is one of the most beloved artists working today. He is the recipient of the Caldecott Medal for Grandfather’s Journey, and also won a Caldecott Honor and the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award for The Boy of the ThreeYear Nap (written by Dianne Snyder). Many of Allen’s stories are derived from his own experiences as a child. His other books include The Bicycle Man, Tea with Milk, and Tree of Cranes, hailed by The Horn Book in a starred review as “the achievement of a master in his prime.” Allen’s recent book, Erika-San, received a starred review in Publishers Weekly. He lives in Portland, Oregon.

presents a stunning graphic novel as an artist during WWII. Drawing from Memory By Allen Say Drawing from Memory is Allen Say’s own story of his path to becoming the renowned artist he is today. Shunned by his father, who didn’t understand his son’s artistic leanings, Allen was embraced by Noro Shinpei, Japan’s leading cartoonist and the man he came to love as his “spiritual father.” As World War II raged, Allen was further inspired to consider questions of his own heritage and the motivations of those around him. He worked hard in rigorous drawing classes, studied, trained—and ultimately came to understand who he really is. Part memoir, part graphic novel, part narrative history, Drawing from Memory presents a complex look at the real-life relationship between a mentor and his student. With watercolor paintings, original cartoons, vintage photographs, and maps, Allen Say has created a book that will inspire the artist in all of us.

A handyman’s son explores the hotel in the newest adventure from From Floors “You will prosper in the field of wacky inventions.” —Final words of New York business tycoon Walter E. Whippet, spoken to his son, Merganzer. Walter E. Whippet’s son, Merganzer, was an impulsive young man of fifteen when he raced into his father’s room just in time to hear those fateful words. Merganzer had just finished his tenth consecutive year of boarding school, during which time his father had been busy building a financial empire. Needless to say, the two had never been close. The words were not the sort of thing Merganzer’s father was known for saying. People close to the old man would have expected something like “Buy cheap, sell high! And whatever you do, don’t squander the family fortune.” But twelve seconds later, Walter E. Whippet was dead. “You will prosper in the field of wacky inventions” were the only words of advice Merganzer had. If only Merganzer had known they were spoken by a man who’d been talking gibberish for weeks. Things might have turned out differently.

From the bestselling author of The Book Thief. Underdogs By Markus Zusak

Underdogs Pub/In-store: August 2011 ISBN-13: 978-0-545-35442-4 Price: $21.99 Non-Strippable EAN: 9-780545-35442-4 Pages: 512 • Ctn: 24 Trim Size: 5B/e" x 8" Binding: Hardcover Adhesive Format: Hardcover Ages: 12 and up • R.L.: 7 and up Category: Fiction/General (F) Illustration Type: N/A LC: N/A Translation Rights: Scholastic Australia, Pan MacMillan Pty, Ltd. Territory: US, C

Before The Book Thief, Markus Zusak wrote a trilogy of novels about the Wolfe brothers: The Underdog, Fighting Ruben Wolfe, and Getting the Girl. Gritty, funny, and at times heartbreaking, these novels form the early work of an author who would go on to receive worldwide acclaim as an exciting new voice in young adult literature. We’re proud to present these novels together for the first time, and to be introducing American readers to The Underdog, never before published in the United States. Fans of The Book Thief won’t want to miss reading the novels that started Markus Zusak’s career.

Praise for Markus Zusak “The Book Thief will be appreciated for Mr. Zusak’s audacity, also on display in his earlier I Am the Messenger. It will be widely read and admired because it tells a story in which books become treasures. And because there’s no arguing with a sentiment like that.” —The New York Times Book Review “Zusak doesn’t sugarcoat anything, but he makes his ostensibly gloomy subject bearable the same way Kurt Vonnegut did in Slaughterhouse-Five: with grim, darkly consoling humor.”—Time Magazine

Praise for Fighting Ruben Wolfe “Zusak debuts with an intense tale about boxing, brotherly solidarity, and searching for self-respect…. Engrossing.” —Kirkus Reviews “Zusak’s first-person narrative is electrifying…. Coarse and poetic at the same time, the power of Zusak’s prose and vivid imagery will continue to reverberate long after the last punch is thrown.” —Teenreads.com

Underdogs e-Book: 978-0-545-38835-1

Praise for Getting the Girl “Zusak uses simple but poetically poignant language to convey Cam’s inner teenage turmoil, confusion, and heartache. This highly recommended novel is a sad, funny, loving, and ultimately heartwarming coming-of-age story.”—Voice of Youth Advocates “The extravagant prose does work well in describing the relationship between Cam and Octavia, demonstrating the oftenignored fact that teenage boys also fall breathlessly and heart-stoppingly in love.” —The Horn Book

Markus Zusak was born in 1975, the youngest of four children born to German and Austrian immigrant parents. Marcus studied teaching at university and gained experience teaching at the high school level. Marcus began writing when he was sixteen years old, and completed his first (unpublished) manuscript at eighteen. While his writing may seem most relevant to young adults, he hopes that readers of all ages can discover meaning in his work. Markus Zusak lives in New South Wales, Australia.

By Philip Webb For Cass and Wilbur, life as scavengers is all they’ve ever known—rummaging the wastelands of what’s left of London in search of a precious, powerful relic no one, not even their new Russian masters, has ever seen. But when Erin and Peyto, two strangers from a far-off place, show up and claim they hold the key to locating the mysterious missing artifact, the search takes on a lethal urgency. If the kids don’t find the crucial treasure in six days, a spaceship will crash into Earth, and their world will come crashing to an end!

From Six Days That’s when Erin brings something out from under her collar. She cups it in her hand to show me. First off I think it’s an animal cos these long tentacles, thin as fishing wire, are waving about where it was clasped around her neck, and they just disappear into the rest of it like when you touch the stalks on a snail. It ain’t much bigger than a chestnut shell, but it’s an odd shape, a sort of knot with bulges and stalks and creases. And it’s glowing with the faintest of lights—a shimmer of faraway blue and green, with hairline streaks of cream drawn across its surface in patterns, like the grain of bleached wood. Except it’s much finer than that—all the detail is sharp and layered and sunk down deep inside. And as I gaze at it, I could swear them patterns are moving about, very slowly shifting and mixing. It’s the most weirdest, most standout beautiful thing I’ve ever clapped my eyes on. “What in the world is that?” “It’s a flinder,” says Peyto. “I don’t know if this is what the Vlads are looking for, but Erin’s got one, I’ve got one, and… well, one of them is lost. Here. In this city.”

Wendy Mass turns to another magical birthday: 13! 13 Gifts By Wendy Mass When Tara, a self-proclaimed shrinking violet, steals the school mascot, a goat, in order to make some friends with the popular crowd and gets caught, she gets herself in a heap of trouble. In addition, her parents decide that instead of taking her on their summer trip to Madagascar to study the courtship rituals of the bamboo lemur, she must go stay with her aunt, uncle, and bratty cousin Emily St. Claire in Willow Falls. Alyssa thinks it’s a good time to start over; she’ll be turning thirteen after all, so she might as well make the best of it and perhaps even attempt to break out of her shell (in a non-criminal manner). What Alyssa doesn’t know is that this charmed town has something big in store for her on her thirteenth birthday.

Tyrell’s father is just out of jail, and Tyrell doesn’t know how to deal with that. It’s bad enough that his brother Troy is in foster care and that his mother is no help whatsoever. Now there’s another thing up in his face, just when he’s trying to settle down. Tyrell’s father has plans of his own, and doesn’t seem to care whether or not Tyrell wants to go along with them. Tyrell can see the crash that’s coming—with his dad, with the rest of his family, with the girls he’s seeing—but he’s not sure he can stop it. Or if he even wants to.

Board of Education, Dawnie learns she will be attending a previously all-white school. She’s the only one of her friends to go to this new school and to leave behind all that is familiar to face great uncertainty in the school year ahead. But the backlash against Dawnie’s attendance of an all-white school is more than she’s prepared for. When her father loses his job as a result, and her little brother is bullied, Dawnie has to wonder if it’s worth it. In time, Dawnie learns that the true meaning of justice comes from remaining faithful to the integrity within oneself.

Dear America: I Walk in Dread By Lisa Rowe Fraustino Deliverance Trembley lives in Salem Village where she must take care of her sickly sister, Mem, and her daily chores for fear of her cruel uncle’s angry temper.

When the villagers begin to realize that Deliverance is a clever girl who possesses the skills to read and write, the whispered accusations begin.

From The Scorpio Races SEAN: It is the first day of November and so, today, someone will die. Even under the brightest sun, the frigid autumn sea is all the colors of the night: dark blue and black and brown. I watch the ever-changing patterns in the sand, the beach pummeled by countless hooves. They run the horses on the beach, a pale road between the black ocean and the dark cliffs, because the sand is a better surface for the horses’ legs. It is never safe, but it’s never so dangerous as today, race day. This time of year, I live and breathe the beach. My cheeks feel raw with the wind throwing sand against them. My thighs sting from the friction of the saddle. My arms ache from holding up two thousand pounds of horse. I have forgotten what it is like to be warm and what a full night’s sleep feels like and what my name sounds like spoken instead of shouted across yards of sand. I am so, so alive.

Maggie Stiefvater is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the novels Shiver, Linger, and Forever.

The second thrilling adventure from the brilliant and Praise for Fever Crumb

From A Web of Air

H“Reeve’s captivating flights of imagination play as vital a role in the story as his endearing heroine, hissworthy villains, and nifty array of supporting characters.” —Booklist, starred review

In her girlhood she had often heard old Dr. Collihole, her fellow Engineer, describe his dreams of flight. She had even flown herself, in the balloon that he had built from scrap paper and filled with hot air on the roof of Godshawk’s Head. She had listened to him recount the legends about heavierthan-air flying machines built by the Ancients, and dismiss them, sadly, as mere fairy tales, because all his experiments had led him to believe that heavier-than-air flight was impossible. But it seemed to her that someone in Mayda did not agree. Someone in this city was designing a flying machine, or at least a glider. And now a model of it had flown into the hands of one of the few people in this quarter of Europa who could understand what it was.…

H“Beautifully written, grippingly paced, and filled with eccentric characters and bizarre inventions…this is a novel guaranteed to please Reeve’s fans—and very likely broaden their ranks.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review H“Well imagined…. A must for any fantasy collection.” —School Library Journal, starred review “An essential read for fans and a great entry point for newcomers to the world; here’s hoping there’s more to come.”—Kirkus Reviews

Which seemed to Fever to be such an unlikely coincidence that she did not think that it could be a coincidence at all. But whoever had launched the glider, from those dark terraces above her, did not seem to want to show themselves, and it was late, and the moon was dipping behind the shoulder of the crater, and so, clutching the white glider to her chest, she went walking thoughtfully back into the city. The angels had lost interest in her. But from the shadowed terraces above, someone watched her go.

Solveig, a princess, is trapped in a hidden fortress, tucked between towering mountains and a frozen fjord, with her siblings, her friend Raudi, and an army of restless soldiers, awaiting news of her father’s victory at battle. As they wait for winter and the unending ice to break, acts of treachery soon make it clear that a traitor lurks in their midst. First, the larder is emptied, then the men protecting Solveig and her siblings are poisoned. A malevolence seeps through the fortress walls, and a smothering claustrophobia slowly turns these prisoners of winter against one another. Those charged with protecting the king’s children are all suspect, and the siblings must choose their allies wisely. But who can be trusted so far from their father’s watchful eye and unchallenged authority? Can Solveig, her brother and sister, and Raudi survive the long winter months and expose the traitor before he (or she) succeeds in destroying a king, his empire, and his children?

Before the attack, Tom Harvey was just an average teen. But a head-on collision with high technology has turned him into an actualized App. Fragments of a shattered iPhone are embedded in his brain. And they’re having an extraordinary effect on his every thought. Because now Tom knows, sees, and can do more than any normal boy ever could. But with his new powers comes a choice: Seek revenge on the vicious gangs who rule the South London housing projects where he lives, and who violated his friend Lucy? Or keep quiet and move on? Not even the search engine in his head can predict the shocking outcome of iBoy’s actions.

A Wi-Fi thriller by YA master Kevin Brooks.

From iBoy When he saw me standing there—a hooded figure with a nightmare face—Jayden froze, shocked, scared to death. I reached out to push him back into the elevator. I only intended to give him a shove, but when my hand touched his chest, my fingers flashed and I felt something jolt through my arm, and Jayden was suddenly flying backward as if he’d been hit with a sledgehammer. As he slammed against the lift wall and slumped to the floor, I stepped in after him and the doors closed behind me. There was a faint smell of electricity in the elevator—a hot, crackly kind of smell—and as I hit the button for the ground floor I realized that the skin of my hands was shimmering, too, just like my face. And the ends of my fingertips were glowing red. The elevator started to descend. I looked down at Jayden. He was very pale, his face white and rigid, his hands shaking. He stared at me for a moment, then wiped his mouth and spat on the floor. “What the hell are you?” I guessed that meant that he wasn’t too badly hurt. “I’m your worst nightmare,” I told him.

Marketing Praise for iBoy “Brilliant, harrowing, uplifting...with a passionate truth…. If I were a producer, I'd option iBoy immediately. This is the big one. Bravo!”—Amanda Craig, The Times of London

As a pickpocket, Digger expects to spend a night in jail every now and then. But she doesn’t expect to find Lord Durrel Decath there as well—or to hear he’s soon to be executed for killing his wife. Durrel once saved Digger’s life, and when she goes free, she decides to use her skills as a thief, forger, and spy to return the favor. But each new clue only opens up more mysteries. While Durrel’s marriage was one of convenience, his behavior has been more impulsive than innocent. His late wife had an illegal business on the wrong side of the civil war raging just outside the city gates. Digger keeps finding forbidden magic in places it has no reason to be.

And it doesn’t help that she may be falling in love with a murderer…

From Liar’s Moon As I crossed back through the empty court, something that wasn’t moonlight flashed in the corner of my vision. Swearing silently, I spun slowly back around, my eyes pressed closed until the last moment. But I hadn’t imagined it. There by an arched doorway, in a streak like the mark left on the floor from heavy furniture, was the faintest glitter of something that should not have been there. I knelt beside it and gingerly dipped my fingers toward the flagstones, tapping just lightly enough that a stream of silvery mist spread out from my touch like the radiating arms of a star, flashing the floor in sparkling light. There was magic at Bal Marse. Of course there was.

John had never experienced an earthquake before and all earlier thoughts that he would like to know what one felt like were now quite forgotten. “We have to get outside,” he yelled at Groanin. “In case the building comes down on our heads.” “I know that, you young scamp,” growled the butler. “I wasn’t born yesterday, more’s the pity.” Most of the guests walked quickly toward the safety of the poolside and the hotel’s extensive gardens and orange groves. John and Groanin would probably have followed them too but for the fact that they caught sight of Nimrod and Philippa heading out onto the terrace at the back of the hotel. It hardly seemed like the safest place given the height of the cliff below the terrace railing. “Sir,” Groanin called. “We shall perish if we remain here. At any moment this whole flipping terrace might collapse and land us in the sea. Surely caution dictates that we should follow the rest of the guests into the garden.” John pointed across the Bay of Naples at Vesuvius. “Look, there,” he said, quietly. Groanin stared out to sea and saw that from the four thousand foot high summit of Vesuvius — so quiet and unremarkable the previous day — a long thin gray plume of smoke was now drifting up into the violet-blue sky.

From Wolven #2: The Twilight Circus Since the summer, Nat had developed some seriously cool improvements to his human senses, and had so far managed to keep them secret. The cool things were: • Long-range, high-frequency hearing

Praise for Wolven

• Sixth sense (needed a bit more practice)

• Telepathy, also known as the twoway mind-meld thing (ditto) • Super-enhanced infrared vision His eyesight was awesome. Nat used to need glasses for school; now he could see for miles and, even more amazing, he could see in the dark! But there was a flip side. Nat struggled with self-control, sometimes resenting his new senses as they threatened to take over.

From Sound Bender We were in front of a dilapidated one-story factory building. On its roof was a giant sign with a picture of a half-eaten salami that said “Finkelstein Family Salami Factory, Established 1931.” I was so busy staring at the place, thinking about all the disgusting things that must be going on in there, that I didn’t notice our car had made a U-turn and pulled up in front of a filthy brick building that took up the rest of the block. It stretched seven stories into the sky with hundreds of windows that were so grimy they looked totally black. The only color at all came from a flock of ratty white seagulls perched in the crevices of the brick.

Now! Hurry! Please . . . My mind was screaming but my face was still. The only movement I allowed myself was a sideways glance at the building. Painted in inconspicuous silver letters were the words, “Crane’s Mysteries.” Crane. Uncle Crane. Oh no. Stump got out and held the door open. “Out with you, kiddo. And get the little guy. The boss don’t like to wait.” I took a deep breath. The smell of salami was everywhere. I held my hand out for Hollis and pulled him from the back of the limo.

Stump turned off the ignition and popped open the trunk.

“Come on, chief,” I said to him, trying to sound reassuring. “We can do this.”

Hollis glared at me. “Leo, you said . . .”

This was it.

The rest of his sentence was drowned out by my own thoughts. Please, don’t let this be the place. Please make this all go away. Please, Mom and Dad, come get us.

This was home.
